CBC is launching a new podcast called **ONE IN SIX, **which examines the barriers faced by people struggling with infertility through a story about a couple who desperately wants to have a baby but can’t.
CBC journalist and podcast host, Jen White and her husband Neil Hyde are a happily married couple in their thirties, and from the outside, life is picture perfect. But behind their smiles lies a heartbreaking secret — they can’t get pregnant.
“In the beginning, I felt a lot of shame about not being able to get pregnant, like my body was broken,” said White. “About two years into our journey, I started sharing our secret with a close circle of family and friends. Instead of them being shocked by our news, I was the one who was surprised. Most people said they already knew someone who was struggling to conceive or undergoing fertility treatments.”
The first two episodes of ONE IN SIX will be released on October 18, 2022 and available on CBC Listen and everywhere podcasts are available. Two new episodes will be released weekly on Tuesdays until November 8, 2022 along with one bonus episode each week that will drop on Thursdays. Listen for free on CBC Listen (available as a free app for iOS and Android devices) and online at cbc.ca/listen.
